Performance and Processing Power
Powered by an octa-core Qualcomm 6490 processor running at 2.7 GHz, delivering processing performance for heavy industrial software, machine learning algorithms, and real-time edge computing tasks. This intrinsically safe hardware architecture pairs 8GB of RAM with 128GB of fast UFS-Flash storage, which field operators can expand by up to 2TB using the user-accessible MicroSD card slot. Shipping natively with Android 14, the rugged Bartec ET60 Zone 2/22 includes an enterprise operating system roadmap supporting upgrades through Android 16 and beyond, providing long-term platform stability and lowering total cost of ownership across fleet deployments.
Display and Input Design
The display engine features a 10.1-inch WUXGA (1900 x 1200 pixels) optically bonded screen that outputs 1,000 nits of brightness, ensuring high contrast and complete visual legibility under direct Australian sunlight or inside dimly lit processing facilities. The capacitive touch panel uses multi-mode input detection, automatically adapting its sensitivity to register interactions from bare fingertips, thick work gloves, or specialised styluses. The entire optical assembly is fortified with shatter-resistant and scratch-proof Corning® Gorilla® Glass to prevent screen failure during daily field use.
Connectivity and Expansion
Engineered for facility-wide connectivity, the internal wireless module supports Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz spectrums with 2x2 MU-MIMO technology, achieving data transfer speeds up to 2,402 Mbit/s. To maintain stable data connections as personnel move between access points across large logistics yards or processing plants, the system uses 802.11r Fast BSS Transition protocols and Cisco CCKM caching for seamless roaming handshakes. Physical expansion interfaces include dual USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port supporting DisplayPort 1.2, a dedicated docking connector, and a user-accessible MicroSD slot. Short-range peripheral communication is handled by integrated Bluetooth 5.2 Class 1 and multi-protocol NFC.
Battery Life and Charging
Power is supplied by a removable 4V / 8,920 mAh (36 Wh) Lithium-ion battery pack that delivers up to 10 hours of continuous indoor operation. This intrinsically tablet incorporates an internal Super Capacitor that keeps the system powered during hot-swap battery exchanges in non-hazardous areas, allowing operators to replace depleted cells without shutting down the operating system or losing active application data. Rapid charging is supported via a USB PD3.0 compatible 45W mains adapter, taking the battery from 4% to 80% capacity in approximately 2.5 hours. Battery health is monitored via PowerPrecision+ analytics, giving IT managers visibility into cell health metrics so degraded units can be identified and retired proactively from fleet circulation.
Security and Data Protection
The platform maintains continuous operating system security through LifeGuard™ for Android, which delivers regular OS patches and security updates to ensure compliance with enterprise network policies. Physical camera privacy is safeguarded via a mechanical slider shade on the 8MP front lens, while Zebra Mobility DNA™ software utilities provide administrators with granular administrative control over active Google Mobile Services, device feature restrictions, and encrypted enterprise wireless profiles.
Usability
Weighing 1.074 kg along with dimensions of 275 x 199 x 18.3 mm, the BARTEC ET60 Zone 2/22 rugged tablet offers a balanced and portable form factor for demanding field use. It is ideal for:
-
Hazardous Area Asset Management & Audits – Complete digital work orders, log equipment inspections, and verify safety compliance directly within Zone 2 regulated zones.
-
High Volume Inventory & Logistics Scanning – Capture barcodes on high-rack pallets and freight containers up to 12 metres away using the optional SE55 long-range scan engine.
-
Utilities & Infrastructure Maintenance – Record distribution network data, conduct substation audits, and manage telemetry across regional infrastructure assets.
-
Plant Diagnostics & Machinery Interfacing – Connect directly to processing equipment and fixed plant assets via native USB 3.1 ports for real-time diagnostic testing.
Rugged Durability
The Intrinsically Safe BARTEC ET60 is independently certified under ATEX and IECEx directives for Zone 2/22 explosive gas and dust environments (Ex ic IIC T4 Gc / Ex ic IIIC T135 °C Dc IP64). The chassis carries a certified IP66 ingress protection rating, completely sealing internal electronics against fine industrial dust and high-pressure water jets during equipment washdowns. Tested beyond MIL-STD-810H standards, the tablet survives 1.5-metre drops directly onto raw concrete, extreme thermal shocks ranging from -20°C to + 55°C, salt fog exposure, solar radiation, and continuous industrial machinery vibration.
